NHSAP Season To Conclude With Fiddler’s Picnic By Ann Mead Ash
New Holland Summer Arts Program (NHSAP) secretary/treasurer Sue Noll recently looked back on the success of this summer’s program, which brought a number of returning and new musical acts to the New Holland Area Community Park on East Jackson Street on Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings. “It has been a good summer with a lot of great shows,” said Noll. Traditionally, the final NHSAP event of the summer is the annual Fiddler’s Picnic. This year’s picnic will be held on Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 2, but the opening and closing times will be different. Live music will begin at 9 a.m. when the Summit Hill Bluegrass band will take the stage. Fiddlers are encouraged to arrive early to reserve a slot on the park stage. The event will conclude at 6 p.m.
The performance schedule allows a 30-minute spot for a group and 15 minutes for a single act or a duo. Usually up to 15 acts perform, and the picnic is often a place for musicians to join up to make music together. Musicians who are considering playing on stage together will sometimes gather in spots far from the stage to practice and often draw a crowd to their own mini concert. In addition to string players, individuals who play accordion, harmonica, and keyboard may visit the park to join in on well-known favorites such as “Rocky Top,” “Foggy Mountain Breakdown,” “Orange Blossom Special,” and “Golden Slippers.” Country and bluegrass tunes are staples of the event. See Fiddler’s Picnic pg 10

ELANCO Released Time will begin observing its 26th year when the program meets this September. During the month of August, New Holland coordinator Deb Reimers was getting ready for the fall term to start by looking ahead and considering how many volunteers she will need. “I will need at least four listeners,” said Reimers, referring to the small group listening time that is part of each weekly session.
Looking forward to the start of the ELANCO Released Time program that will be offered through New Holland Elementary School this fall are (front, from left) Genevieve Reimers, Lillyan Reimers, Sadie Kauffman, (back) Jude Kauffman, Noah Reimers, and Johnathan Kauffman. This year’s program will be held at See Released Time pg 12 Petra Church beginning Sept. 12.
When members of the Shady Maple Benevolence and Community Outreach Committee first heard about the CrossNet Ministries Pathways to Housing program, which provides safe and affordable housing to ELANCO-area individuals, families, seniors, and veterans who are experiencing or are about to experience homelessness, they wanted to hold a fundraiser to help. “CrossNet is trying to (provide) apartments (for those in need), and it was something that touched our hearts,” said Gwen Zahm, who, along with fellow committee member Mylon Weaver, came up with the idea of holding a 5K run. “It felt right that (CrossNet) would benefit.” The first Shady Maple Benevolence Committee 5K Walk/Run and 1-Mile Walk/Run will be held on Saturday, Sept. 28, at Lloyd H. Roland Memorial See Outreach Committee pg 2
